Dogmatic anthropocentric and social analysis of #AI is at best limited, at worst misguided. It gets in the way of understanding its actual capacities —and hence potential harms. Like focusing on the limitations of a jet fighter because it doesn’t fly like a hummingbird. #philtech #AIethics #philsci
